Abstract
La presente investigación tiene por objeto un análisis de los límites metodológicos y la potencia crítica del proyecto Homo sacer de Giorgio Agamben. En su primera parte nos hacemos cargo del método arqueológico. Un estudio de sus fuentes filosóficas – Walter Benjamin, Aby Warburg, Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault – revela la importancia de la noción de imagen. Desde aquella, nuestra investigación puede determinar tanto la comprensión agambeneana del tiempo histórico sobre la que se sostiene el proyecto Homo sacer, como la centralidad epistemológica de las nociones de ficción y de máquina en el desarrollo del proyecto. En su segunda parte, proponemos una reinterpretación del proyecto atenta a su especificidad arqueológica. Nuestra lectura tiene dos objetivos, extraídos del propio diseño de Homo sacer: 1) ampliar sus hipótesis y método al estudio de los modelos de gubernamentalidad neoliberal; 2) explicitar su diálogo con los estudios críticos del humanitarismo neoliberal. Con esto, esperamos avanzar en la hoja de ruta marcada por el propio Agamben en su introducción a El poder soberano y la nuda vida: interrogar las técnicas políticas de la biopolítica contemporánea, sus tecnologías del yo y la matriz común o su punto de convergencia...
This thesis offers an analysis of the methodological limits and critical potential of Giorgio Agamben's Homo sacer project. The first part is an exploration of his archaeological method. A study of its philosophical sources – Walter Benjamin, Aby Warburg, Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault – reveals the importance of the notion of image. My research determines both the Agambenean understanding of historical time, on which the Homo Sacer project is based, and the epistemological centrality of the notions of fiction and of machine in the development of the project.The second part poses a reinterpretation of the project, paying attention to its archaeological specificity. Our interpretation has two objectives, extracted from Homo Sacer's own design: 1) to expand its hypotheses and method to the study of neoliberal governmentality models; 2) to explain its dialogue with critical studies of neoliberal humanitarianism. There efforts are made with the intention of advancing the roadmap outlined by Agamben himself in his introduction to Sovereign Power and Bare Life: to interrogate the political techniques of contemporary biopolitics, its technologies of the self and the common matrix or its point of convergence...
